Clip(ped) Tones



A familiar, insultingly ordinary little object - that most simple of hair clips! You've seen one, you've seen them all!

Not quite. I've had this one since I was a kid, decades ago now (gulps at the realisation of counting the distance from childhood in decades!!).

 And of course, back in the day, I had dozens of them. And as is the way of bobby pins, bic pens and hairclips, I've managed to lose and misplace multiple ones over the years. This is my last, solitary survivor.

And this is of course the big tragedy, because the similar ones in the supermarket now, are not like this authentic back-in-the-day one.

The ones now are bigger and somehow more gauche. I don't like the look of the new ones and can't bring myself to buy any of them as replacements.

I will probably lose this one (I've misplaced it numerous times) - or break it (the tip has an extra upwards kink to it that isn't meant to be there).

And I will mourn its eventual loss/passing. But for now, *cue the angelic singing choir* as the light shines on ye heavenely clipe.
